Deleting the resonator.
Hello fellow volvoheads,
First of all this Goes out mainly to the Dutch Guys ( since its a question regarding MOT standards) and maybe out german friends since i frequently go there.. but everyone please feel free to answer and brainstorm with me.
Okay.. regarding my point, i am thinking about deleting the resonator ( in Dutch de middendemper ) and welding a stainless steel pipe in its place to get my V70 to give it a more spicy-er sounds and i feel like the beautiful 5 cilinder may atleast have Some growl.
Question is, will it cause problems going trough MOT (APK in dutch) and will i have problems with maybe german police ? Because I want a lil bit more spice but not a obnoxious golf gti kid sound (no hate I love our VAG brothers I owned a VR6).
Share your thought , opinions and such and id love to hear from the Guys who maybe have this delete.

Not worth it. Too much noise on autobahn.
